The original story was that Hindes had been flirting with Wacker's daughter Amber, and that's what pushed him over the edge. She even said so on camera.

"He looked at me and made passes, and my dad didn't like it," said Amber Wacker.

Hindes says that's not true, and the real reason is that he's dating Wacker's estranged wife, and he couldn't handle it.

"Oh my God, I'm upstairs watching O'Reilly and he's pounding on the door," said Hindes. "I finally came down and he's gone."

10 News pulled Wacker's rap sheet, and it's extensive, showing everything from drug charges, to battery and burglary. But Pinellas County detectives arrested Hindes, who has no record, because he told detectives:

"He was not in fear of his life, and that he could have gotten away or sped off in his vehicle," said Pinellas County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Cecilia Barreda.
